Arlo had a job in a computer called Teckno-Toys, which made electronic toys for children.He was the company's chief designer of radio-controlled toys, such as cars and aeroplanes. These toys were so clever and amazing that many fathers bought them at Christmas for their children only to play with them themselves. The cries of 'Aw, Dad, can I have a go now?' were often heard in many homes where Dad had bought one of Arlo's marvellous toys.
